I guess I have shot heavy target guns too long. I just do not shoot very light guns well. I do well with a 20 or 28 that comes in around 6 pounds. Fit is 90% of shooting well for me, and the weight is the other 10%. Now carrying weight might favor lighter gun but shooting dynamic, for me and my shooting style, any small bore in the 6 pound range or 12 about 7 pounds works. But I’m not covering miles a day across rough ground or hunting jungle type cover. Light may work for you and I’m glad because every gun deserves its day in the field.
